About This Quote

When a person has been betrayed by someone they trusted, it can be difficult to trust again. They have been scarred by the loss of trust and the agony of not knowing who they can trust. However, there is hope if a person has been betrayed by a family member or a close friend. There is no shame in being broken by a relationship gone bad. All that matters is that the one who caused the pain wants to help you heal and restore your trust in others.
